Moonpig has launched a promotion allowing customers to get a free thank you card for teachers before the school term ends.

All you need to do to get the free card is browse the website to see which one you like the most and then enter a promo code at checkout.

The retailer has many designs available including one that reads "Thank you for bee-ing so amazing" and another saying "Real heroes don't wear capes, they teach".

There are also designs that simply read "Thank you" and others that can be personalised with the teacher's name.

Bear in mind, though, that you might need to pay extra for postage.

When we checked, after adding a free card to the basket, postage cost £1.35, so that would be the total you need to pay.

How to bag a bargain

SUN Savers EditorLana Clementsexplains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…

Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.

Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.

Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.

Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.

Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.

When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can usevouchercodes.co.ukandmyvouchercodes.co.ukare just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.

Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone.Trolley.co.ukapp has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.

Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.

And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.

Not only this, but she also nabbed: “Coffee gift cards in bulk and Ghirardellichocolatesand some crinkle paper.”

She then decorated the tumbler by adding some colourful tissue paper.
